When I go to another app, and back, tabs have to reload, often loosing what was done in the page. I have set Firefox as "No restrictions" on my Xiaomi 15 Ultra (HyperOS 3, Android 16), but Firefox still seems to unload memory very frequently.

Video Lags / Low FPS on Android 14 (OnePlus Nord 2T) - Cannot Troubleshoot via about:config

Hello Firefox Community,

I'm hoping for some help with a persistent video playback issue on Firefox for Android. I am committed to using Firefox for its privacy and its independent Gecko engine, but this performance bug is a major blocker.

The Problem: When I play videos in Firefox, the playback is very choppy and stutters, appearing as if it's running at a very low frame rate.

Crucial Testing Information:

This issue is specific to certain browsers. I have tested the exact same videos on Chrome, Vivaldi, Brave, and Ulaa, and they all play perfectly smoothly. The stuttering issue happens in Firefox (and also in Opera).

This confirms the problem is with how Firefox is rendering video on my device, not a network or hardware limitation.

Troubleshooting Roadblock:

I have already tried all the basic fixes (clearing cache, reinstalling, etc.).

I attempted to follow standard advice to troubleshoot this by accessing about:config to check the status of hardware video decoding. However, access to about:config is completely disabled in the stable version of Firefox for Android. This prevents any advanced user-side troubleshooting for performance issues like this.

My Device Information:

Phone Model: OnePlus Nord 2T

Android Version: Android 14

Firefox Version: 143.0.4

Given that a critical troubleshooting tool is unavailable, I am reporting this directly. This seems to be a hardware acceleration incompatibility issue with my device.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

​I am reporting two visual glitches (white bars) occurring in the Android version of Firefox.

  1. White Bar Appear Numbered list items at the Top in Portrait Multi-Select Mode
    When the browser is in portrait mode and I enter the multi-select state (e.g., in the Bookmarks or Downloads management screens), a white bar appears briefly or persists at the top of the screen. This seems like a UI rendering error.
  2. White Bar Appears on the Left Side in Landscape Mode
    When the phone is in landscape mode, a persistent white bar/strip is visible on the far left side of the screen. This affects the full-screen display.

Device Information: ​Android Version: Android 16 ​Firefox Version: 144.0.1 (Build #2016121407)

For the past few years I have encountered a bug on Android (Galaxy s22) that if I am using Google and within Google I open a page, it's fine. But when I click the back arrow it always jumps two pages back, when I click the forward button it is the same (as if Google is not in the short term history), so that I have to search again what I was searching for. This I have reported to the developers with no fix.

I have learned to work around this bug, but past few days the app is more glitchy than ever, so bad that I felt the need to switch to another app. (So far I have not encountered these problems in Nightly.) The app is now switching continuously between pages, between history and browsing in a normal manner is not possible anymore. If I open a website, the app switches to a page I was a few minutes before. After browsing for an hour with many irritations, I almost downloaded Chrome! Luckily I remembered Nightly, which I've used on an android tablet, because the normal app doesn't support a full desktop mode.

Poor *Cache* management is the main issue for me for starting... The *fevicons(app icons)* got disappeared after clearing cache and fetching fevicons is also hit & miss... The tabs frequently reloads even after only few minutes of inactivity or after opening other app for something like opening WhatsApp for reading message, then it get reloaded and progress get lost in critical things like filling forms...

  • Shortcuts* menu on Homepage is limited to 16 and unallocated icons got filled with history, why!

Toolbar should be more thin and URI bar should be more broad, *Reader Mode* icon should be shifted to main menu... Dark mode for websites should apply without reloading tabs... Download manager is still poor, the queued items sticks to the notification panel and can't be removed even after pausing, it is only removing by deleting it...
